The Autumn Glow Multi brick from Forterra’s Ecostock range offers a vibrant yet natural-looking façade by blending red tones with subtle variations. It’s designed to bring warmth and character to both contemporary and traditional builds — perfect for front walls, extensions, or feature elevations where visual interest and strength are needed.
Crafted with a stock thrown texture, this brick gives a handcrafted appearance that adds depth and authenticity to any masonry work. The multi-tone colouring ensures that walls don’t look flat or monotone; instead, they display a lively mix of shades that change under different lighting throughout the day.
Performance is a priority too. Autumn Glow Multi comes with an F2 durability rating, making it suitable for exposed external walls in UK climates. Its water absorption is kept to ? 13 %, which — when paired with good installation practices (cavity detailing, quality mortar, drainage) — helps guard against weathering and damp over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Autumn Glow Multi suitable for coastal or very exposed areas?
Yes — thanks to its **F2 durability rating**, it is tested to resist freeze–thaw cycles and weather stresses. With correct detailing (cavities, flashing, weep holes), it performs well even in harsh environments.
How much variation can I expect in colour between bricks?
Because it’s a **multi-tone brick**, some variation is intentional. You’ll see patches of lighter and deeper red tones. To avoid clustering of similar tones, it’s best to mix bricks from multiple packs during the laying process for a balanced finish.
Does the water absorption rate of 13 % lead to damp problems?
Not necessarily. A **? 13 %** absorption is common for facing bricks. What matters more is the installation — using proper cavity width, flashing, damp-proofing, and quality mortar. Done correctly, the brick should resist moisture effectively over the long term.
